Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all 6.8 for me. Slept late after a hot night. Just sitting down for first cuppa after urgent welfare check on neighbour after call from her daughter. All is fine she had gone into the village for a paper and forgot a friend was picking up the dog as she is going into hospital for a gall bladder op today. So all is well.
Can't decide if I'm going to Goodwood for a track day today, watch more Olympics, or what I should be doing - more gardening. The green waste bin is full so I have a decent excuse to bunk off chores.
Stay safe everyone.
 
Good morning! 5.6 today for me.

We’re spending these couple of days at home getting jobs done around the house that we’ve being meaning to do for ages. My wife is sorting through wardrobes and already sold around 10 things on Vinted, meanwhile I’ve been in the loft putting up an antenna for my new toy which arrived yesterday - my amateur radio transceiver. Not the best day to be in the loft with the heat, but something I want to get done.

Take care everyone!
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.0

Nothing much happened yesterday. Today nothing planned. Yawn.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Good morning 5.9

Went to see Arts and Crafts house with roofer - £30k to renew roof to high standard. Tree surgeon £5k to remove roadside trees. Lots of other problems but all fixable except, of course, the development proposed over the road. Was very disappointed by the house. A rabbit warren of rooms with no flow or logic to them. House was too big for the garden even with the additional space for which them want £50k. Sewage goes to mains drains (fields away)but is in old clay pipes which block. Agent does not know if there is an easement or even a plan. It will be interesting to see how much it sells for but it would be a silly and risky purchase of me and could readily soak up the spare cash from selling here which is designated for daughter's mortgage. Oh well, back to Rightmove.

@eggyg Sorry to hear of back seizure. Hope you get osteopath to sort it out a.s.a.p. and have a stash of DF118s to see you through until then.
 
Well done @harbottle on the 5.2. A 6.1 for me today. 🙂

@TinaD If you’re looking for a doer upper then this might suit…

I’d guess the estate agent might describe it as “well ventilated”

Actually though it comes with seven acres, some laid to lawn, some woodland, a lovely walled kitchen garden and this little house…

@eggyg Hope you didn’t let Mr Eggy get away with breaking your eggs this morning and made him do them again but correctly!

And hope your back is better soon.
 
Another scorcher on the cards for today says our forecast, with temperatures likely to hit the low 30s. A little hotter than yesterday, then. Apparently it's all going to end with thunderstorms come Thursday. Doesn't it always? Hope the pool's not too busy when I go for my regular Tuesday swim, with people looking to cool off, plus schools being out.

My sister's had her latest HbA1c result. She's been pre-diabetic for years and was worried that her weight gain and mobility issues due to her long covid might have pushed her over the line. Good news though, it hasn't - she's still in the pre-diabetic zone.

Rare trip into sixland this morning, but only just over the border - 6.0 when I tested.

Hope everyone's getting some of this long-overdue Summer weather.
 
A 6.1 for me on another sunny hot morning.

Off to the dentist in 10 minutes for an extraction, that will be fun - I don't think.

I’m having coffee whilst sitting in the shade overlooking the canal and whiling away the time before my hygienist appointment.

It’s one of the most relaxing lead ups to visiting the dentist surgery I’ve ever had!

Hope your appointment goes well.

A very early good morning. 7.1 at 4.45am! Hot, sticky, back aching, RLS and starving, apart from that I’m absolutely spiffing! As we have got rid, errr I mean, as the grandchildren have now left the building, I can have a nana nap later.

Yesterday was a hot day for walking to, and around and back, a summer gala. 4.5 miles total walked. Queues for everything, rides, ice creams, face painting etc. I spent £48 in less than two hours! And in spite of having a ice cream as my BGs were down to 4.4, I still was heading down on the hot walk home, 4.2, the ice cream never touched it. Jelly baby stop required. I only wanted to have one but Mr Eggy panics and insisted I had two. So reluctantly I did. An hour later I was hitting 13! How, what, why! The worst thing was, I checked on my meter, I was 2 mmol higher! Anyhoo, on the whole we had a good day even if I forked out £16 for two helium filled unicorn balloon and one is currently residing in my neighbour’s poplar tree! Ooops! One upset 6 year old who’d been so careful when walking home that it didn’t catch on any prickly bushes. Goes out into our garden on our return, and a gust of wind just snapped the ribbon and up it went! I was upset too, I’d just paid eight quid for that! 😳

Today I’ll be mostly doing a big fat nowt! TBF I can’t afford to, it’s been a very expensive weekend. But everyone’s had a great time.

Have a Happy Monday y’all.

Sadie’s balloon in happier times. And now in a very, very tall poplar tree! No ladder is going to get that high!

You have reminded me of a sad occasion of attending the funeral of a child who took his own life and his class mates all had balloons to let go outside but a few let them go early and they shot up to the high roof in the crem, not sure how on earth they would get them down in time for the next funeral.
It brings tears to my eyes even now thinking of it.

I dunno whether to laugh or cry at that one but it’s tickled my funny bone!

I’m reminded of a family funeral that saw the rabbi slip down the muddy graveside into the grave on top of the coffin and then get joined by two others who tried to haul him out. Now that was funny!
 
4.9 early this morning. Not much planned - another warm day, I reckon.
